Implication

Experimental evaluation reveals Bacillus velezensis EM-A8 enhances maize yield and controls northern corn leaf blight effectively.

Key Points

  • Bacillus velezensis EM-A8 significantly increased maize dry biomass by 30%, showing its potential for enhancing growth.
  • Under field conditions, both formulations reduced symptomatic leaves from northern corn leaf blight by 25–50% compared to untreated controls.
  • Phytohormones produced by Bacillus velezensis EM-A8 include salicylic acid and gibberellic acid, which contribute to plant health.
  • The formulations led to yield increases exceeding 1,000 kg/ha, highlighting the effectiveness of this biocontrol strategy.
